We got information that Fresh (100 Level) Students still pay an additional acceptance fee of NGN 42,500 making a total of NGN 124,000.

Students still have to pay huge amounts for accommodation and course registration. A student claimed that fresh students pay more than NGN 20,000 for various course registration apart from school fees and acceptance fees.

There was heavy police presence on campus to ensure that the students do not vandalize the school property or create any havoc during the protest.
The students decided they will go on a protest when the school management gave them an ultimatum to pay up today or pay a fine of additional NGN 10,000.

Enjoy pictures from the Live Protest, while we keep you updated.

According to an eyewitness:

“Due to increase in school fees under the charade 9f Giving us wifi (which we haven’t seen in 4momths now)

Futo students are fed up of the taxation by school.
We registered courses offline with 35k+
Now we are asked to register online for the same courses.
It seems as though the school wants to make the money they lost from post utme”
